This is the definitive, objective biography of the Prophet, drawn from primary Arabic sources of the 8th and 9th centuries, and includes passages never before translated. It owes its freshness and directness of approach to the words of the men and women who heard Muhammad speak and witnessed the events of his life.

Muhammad (peace be upon him) The Messenger of Guidance: A Concise Introduction to His Life and Islam is an excellent resource for both Muslims and non-Muslims. In Part One, the author succinctly summarizes the life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), using authentic reports from his Companions to paint a beautiful portrait of his qualities and characteristics. In addition, he examines and explains the basic pillars of faith and worship in Islam, and then goes on to discuss issues that are relevant to the Muslim nation today.

Part Two brings together a wide selection of sound hadiths, or sayings of the Prophet (pbuh). The author has carefully chosen these to cover a broad variety of topics, thus creating a useful reference that is easy to follow and comprehend. This book provides the reader with an academic perspective on Islam, which is supported by modern, eloquent translations of the original textual sources: the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh). It is an excellent resource for both the casual and the academic reader.

The Prophet Muhammad initiated one of the most significant religious and cultural developments in human history, bringing into the world the religion of Islam in its final form. His life continues to inspire millions and millions of people around the world.
Recent world events, bringing the world of Islam into more and more contact with other cultures around the world, makes a proper understanding of Islam and its Prophet very important for mutual human understanding and world peace.
Adil Salahi's compelling biography traces the life of the Prophet Muhammad from birth and childhood in the Arabian desert to the triump of Islam and its gaining a permanent hold on Arabia. The author sets this against a fascinating historical backdrop, making a careful analysis of events and relating them to the life of Muslims today.
Today, Islam provides perhaps the most important trend influencing Arab and Islamic thinking throughout the world. Adil Salahi looks at Islam from this wider perspective with both the Muslim and non-Muslim readers in mind. Muslims will add to their understanding of their own faith and non-Muslims will understand the passionate love Muslims have for their last Prophet.

One of the most pressing issues facing our modern world is extremism and terrorism carried out by misguided Muslims.

Carl W. Ernst

In this book, I have chosen to highlight the problems that are tarnishing the image of the Islamic faith and negatively affecting Muslims. In a heartfelt analysis, I draw a comparison between Islam as a religion and the modern issues that many Muslims are grappling with every day.
One of the most pressing issues facing our modern world is extremism and terrorism carried out by misguided Muslims. News reports in western countries are often cluttered with suppositions and accusations pointed squarely at the Islamic communities. However, the mass majority of Muslims are peaceful and loving. It’s unfair to categorize an entire group of people as terrorists simply because a very small minority has twisted the Islamic faith to serve their own needs.
There exists great ignorance about the Islamic faith, and by extension Muslims, in Europe and America. This grew out of a series of terrorist attacks that began with the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001 and continues today. However, the terrorists are not the ones paying the price for their actions. Muslims from all over the world, who are doing nothing more than trying to live their lives, face mistrust and discrimination from their non-Muslim communities.
The way extremists have twisted and deformed the great religion of Islam has caused me immense grief and angst. I have written this book as a means to identify with Muslims from around the globe that are sick of terrorism and are desperate to regain their full rights without consistently being labeled as a “terrorist”.

If you only have information and knowledge about one human being in your life, knowing about the Prophet Muhammad (S) is the most beneficial. Everything that he did was beneficial. Everything he said was beneficial. Everything he showed his Companions and the rest of the world was beneficial. No one's life was studied closer and in more detail than his. He let his private life, his family life and his business dealings be the subject of study. He let every aspect of his life even his tears be the subject of study. There is no figure in history whose life, public and personal, is so well documented by eyewitness reports. It is a really enlightening document to study

This magisterial survey of the Prophet Muhammad (s) in French and English literature over 350 years is both a cross-cultural history and a discussion of the intellectual changes in the representation of the Prophet's life based the close examination of original published and unpublished manuscripts. It is in the mid-seventeenth century that serious Western responses to Muhammad first emerge, but the now common acceptance of his status as Prophet has been relatively recent. While there have many attempts to renew Islamic studies in the West, Gunny argues that it is not necessary to discard Islamic sources to achieve this aim.

The Prophet Muhammad (s) - A Role Model for Muslim Minorities studies the Prophet Muhammad’s illustrious life from a refreshingly new angle. It identifies what guidance the Prophet’s example offers for Muslims living as a minority. So doing, the author examines insightfully how Islam was practiced in Makkah, how Muslims led their lives as migrants in Abyssinia and how Muslim minorities were treated by the Islamic state of Madinah. The book based on original Arabic sources, guides Muslims extensively how to co-exist peacefully with non-Muslims.
